Wonderful Memories!
Reviewed By The Bum's - Danville, IN | Traveled to Europe
Melissa was very helpful in planning our trip to Europe. She had sent us a sale brochure in the mail. She was always available when I called with questions. If she didn't know the answer, she would find out the answer and get back to me the same day.

Since she is in TN and we are in IN, all correspondence was by phone or computer. This worked well! I would do it again!
